Its dense and durable nature ensures long-lasting wear, making it particularly suited for the fine detailing and precision required in knife handles and elegant writing instruments. The wood's natural oils contribute to a smooth finish, enhancing the tactile experience and the overall aesthetic appeal.

Its combination of beauty, workability, and durability makes it an esteemed material among craftsmen and collectors alike."
